Welcome to the Manor
Am I the only weirdo out there who's obsessed with "Meerkat Manor?" If you haven't seen this show yet, you need to check it out for a couple of minutes. The show is a combination between a nature documentary, a reality show, and a soap opera, documenting the lives of a meerkat clan (dubbed the "Whiskers" family) in the Kalahari desert.
The Whiskers Meerkats are being observed by the zoological studies department at Cambridge University. So, I guess what better way to fund your research than sell it as a reality show? After all, the meerkats are adorable, quirky, and there are enough rival meerkat families and predators in the desert to provide plenty of drama (poor little Shakespeare Whiskers was bitten by a puff adder in the first episode I saw. He's struggling, but surviving).
My only complaint is that Sean Astin isn't a very good narrator. I hate when producers pick celebrities to narrate their shows, rather than hiring voiceover specialists.
New episodes premiere on Fridays at 8:00 (ET), but if you're interested, there's a four-episode marathon Sunday night from 8:00 - 10:00 (ET) and again from 11:00-1:00 a.m.
